AI Shortcuts

AI is everywhere right now, and I've been thinking a lot about the shortcuts it enables. Some are the wrong kind — like replacing myself with a cloned voice in release videos. Others are the right kind — like using AI to handle everything around creating a podcast episode so I can focus on actually talking to you.

In this episode, I share my experiments with AI-generated Laravel release videos (cool but not where we want to go) and how my bot Jarvy now handles the entire podcast publishing workflow — from normalizing audio to uploading to Transistor.fm — so all I have to do is hit record.

The takeaway: AI should help with the stuff around what we do, not replace the human parts.
